Melt-Proof Makeup? Yes, Please!

It's mid-summer and you've about had it with your foundation sweating off your face, your mascara running down your cheeks, and your gorgeous eyeshadow creasing all over the place. We know, we know, hot weather blows when it comes to keeping your cosmetics on lockdown. But don't sweat it—these melt-proof makeup options stay put so you don't have to.

Go the extra step and apply a pea-size amount of primer, like Smashbox Photo Finish SPF 15, $42, sephora.com, onto your skin before you put on your foundation and concealer. This allows your base color to last way longer than usual.

You've already swiped on your primer, but it's always smart to evenly apply a silicone-based, long-wear foundation, such as Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme Makeup, $13.99, amazon.com, onto your skin. The silicone in it acts as a film between your skin and the humidity, preventing foundation from seeping into your pores or sliding off your face.
